(Minghui.org) I was 18 years old when I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. My congenital heart disease, anemia, depression, deafness, and other illnesses disappeared. Witnessing the miracles I experienced my family and friends knew that Dafa was good and encouraged me to practice.
After the persecution of Falun Dafa began in China on July 20, 1999, I went to Tiananmen Square because I benefited from the practice. Filled with courage and determination, I held up a banner, and shouted, “Falun Dafa is good! Clear my Master’s name!” I was detained in the Fengtai Detention Center for two nights and one day. I sent strong righteous thoughts and got out.
Master told us how to send forth righteous thoughts. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful righteous thoughts are—I’d like to tell you about some of my experiences.
The place where we made truth clarification materials was surrounded by police in July 2001. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts: “The police cannot see me.” I walked out and went to a bus stop about 100 to 200 meters away. I realized I left my ID card so I went back to retrieve it. Once again I passed through the police encirclement and returned to the bus stop.
I sent forth righteous thoughts the entire time. Twenty minutes passed but the bus still hadn’t arrived. My righteous thoughts waned and I started to feel anxious and afraid.
A group of police officers came and arrested me, and took me back to the material center. I was young and quite naive; I didn’t think of finding a place to hide. Looking back I regret missing the opportunity to avoid being persecuted.
I was held in a detention center in 2002. When I sent righteous thoughts I saw many heavenly soldiers and Falun Dafa practitioners striking gongs that sounded more powerful than an atomic bomb explosion.
After the explosion all the negative beings in that dimension were gone. The sky was clear and transparent, just as Master described in Hong Yin II, (The Heavens Become Clear Again), “The Heavens shrouded in darkness, the Earth enveloped in gloom The thunder of the gods explodes, dispersing the dark, dense haze.” I was stunned when I saw this scene.
I was sent to prison in 2003 and a practitioner who was slightly older than me was brought to my cell. The guards monitored her closely, and she was not in a very good state. I focused on sending righteous thoughts to help clear her field and strengthen her.
While I sent righteous thoughts one day I saw an image of her which was formed from a corrupt substance in her body. It spoke to my image, which was also made up of impure substances in my body. She asked, “Why don’t you watch and control your main spirit?” As she sent out her thoughts, she was helping my main spirit destroy me. At that moment the impure substance in me reply: “I can’t control her; her righteous thoughts are too strong, and I’m about to be destroyed by her!”
After witnessing the conversation between these two corrupt beings I understood that we practitioners are truly one body. If we do not cultivate ourselves well we can influence each other negatively. If we cultivate well we can advance together, support each other, and do the three things effectively.
I was sent to prison in the summer of 2004. I had a high fever for four consecutive days. I also had to face the persecution and the transformation rhetoric constantly thrown at me. My mind was hazy, and I was not allowed to sleep.
I felt exhausted and asked Master, “What should I do?” At that moment I had the thought, “send righteous thoughts.” I realized Master enlightened me to send righteous thoughts to clear away the substances that were harming my body.
I closed my eyes and focused on sending righteous thoughts for about thirty minutes. I began to sweat profusely. My fever subsided and all the other illness symptoms disappeared. After experiencing this, I realized we need this physical body to cultivate and do the three things well. Without this body we cannot accomplish anything. The old forces want to destroy our bodies. When we have shortcomings in our xinxing, we correct them through the Fa. We cannot allow the old forces to destroy our bodies!
I slacked off in my cultivation in 2016. I hadn’t been studying the Fa much, and I was distracted by many things; I was not in a good state. While I was at work I suddenly felt an indescribable pain in my head, as if it were exploding, and I couldn’t see anything. I sat at my workstation and asked Master to help me. Then I sent out powerful, righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors that were attempting to destroying my body.
Within about five minutes, the symptoms in my head started to subside. After about ten minutes, my head felt light and I continued working. My husband urged me to go home. He later told me blood was pooling in my eyes but he didn’t tell me because he was worried that I would panic. I didn’t tell him about the pain in my head.
When I went home and looked in the mirror, I realized I had a stroke and my brain hemorrhaged. Master helped me and let the blood flow to my eyes. The blood disappeared a week later. I looked within after the incident, and I realized my attachments to resentment and pursuing leisure and comfort probably triggered this tribulation.
In June 2023, my sister developed a large boil the size of a fist. She had a fever for several days and could hardly walk. I told her to send forth righteous thoughts since it affected her cultivation and her ability to do the three things. She said she would let it run its course. It took her one month to recover. Later, my husband also developed two large boils, and it also took him over a month to heal as well.
I had a large boil at the end of August that year. My husband said it would be alright once the pus came out. I immediately replied: “No, I will not acknowledge it.”
Master told us,
“Let us talk about the most common illnesses. Somewhere in the body one may have a tumor, an infection, bone spurs, etc. It is because in another dimension there lies a being in that place.”...“After you remove that being, you will find that there is no longer anything wrong with the body in this dimension. Whether it is protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral discs or bone spurs, after you remove that thing and clear out that field, you will find it instantly healed.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)
I know this was because negative substances inside my body were trying to interfere with me doing the three things well, so I needed to eliminate them. I asked Master to strengthen me and then I sent powerful, righteous thoughts to disintegrate them. I went to bed afterwards and the next morning the big boil disappeared without a trace.
My husband and sister saw this and exclaimed in amazement, “If I had known, I would have sent forth righteous thoughts to clear it away!” We practitioners follow Master’s teachings and believe in Master and the Fa 100%. Miracles will surely happen! Through countless crises, Master’s compassionate protection has brought me to where I am today.
From the time I began studying the Fa until I had been cultivating for ten years, my biggest challenge was my belief in Master and the Fa. Master separated the side of me that cultivated well and met the standard. However, I would then become hazy and unsure about my cultivation. I began to wonder whether Dafa was true, whether there were gods and Buddhas. These doubts caused me a great deal of distress.
Whenever I experienced this state I reassured myself through the miracles I saw with my third eye as well as those manifested in my body, that Master was here to rectify the Fa and that gods and Buddhas truly exist.
In my thoughts I asked Master, “What should I do? Please help. I must not be swayed by these wicked thoughts.” Suddenly, the words “suspicion” came to mind. I immediately understood that Master had enlightened me; it was the substance of suspicion at work.
Suspicion is a deeply corrupting substance in the old universe. It can manifest in subtle ways, such as doubting loved ones and friends daily, fearing illness during episodes of feeling unwell, and questioning various aspects of one’s cultivation practice. This insidious feeling often hides behind fame, gain, and emotions, exerting a tremendous negative influence. On a larger scale, it manifests as doubting Master, Dafa, fellow practitioners, whether sentient beings are willing to hear the truth, and so on.
When I realized how harmful suspicion was I immediately sent out powerful righteous thoughts, asking Master to reinforce me and completely eliminate the substance of suspicion. After sending righteous thoughts for some time, I found my belief in Master and the Fa to be unshakeable. With 100% belief in Master and the Fa, I could immerse myself in the Fa while studying it, and I truly felt that every word Master spoke was true!
Throughout my entire cultivation journey, effectively doing the three things well and utilizing my supernatural powers bestowed by Master, played a vital role. When it comes to clarifying the truth, by sending forth righteous thoughts you can achieve twice the result with half the effort!
A coworker initially refused to listen when I told her about the persecution of Dafa by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She even said I was deceived. When I encountered this situation, I sent righteous thoughts several times at work.
When I talked to her again, she was willing to listen and agreed to withdraw from the CCP and related organizations. After I shared Master’s recent article, “How Humankind Came To Be” she approached me to learn more about Falun Dafa. She also said she would encourage her family to withdraw from the CCP and its related organizations.
